IMPROVEMENT IN GHURNS.

Gite fidgrtith rrhrret it in time thine g ntcnt mn uniting part at figs time.

TO ALL WHOM IT CONCERN:

Be it known that I, C. L. EGGERT, of Lawrence, in the county of Douglas, and State of Kansas, have invented a new and improved Churn; and I do-hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a. top orplan viewof my improved churn, the cover being removed.

Figure 2 is a. vertical longitudinal section of thesame taken through the line 9; z, fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. V

invention has for'its object to furnish an improvedchnrn, simple in construction, easily operated, which will bring thehutter in a; very short time, and by means ,of which the butter inny' he gathered into :1. solid roll or lump before it is taken from the churn; and it consists in the combination and-arrangement of the gearwheels and shifts with each other, with the dnshers, and with the frnineand hody'of the churn, and in the dashers, construe ted, arranged, and operated as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the body of the churn, which rectangular in form, and has its upper and lower angles at the\,ends

.filled up, as shown in fig; 2 's?) that the ends of the milk-chamber may hehiea-rly circular in form. To one side of the box or bodyof the churn is securelynttuchellra. narrow rectangular frame, 13, in which are formed the bearings of the shafts C D E. Cis the crank-shaft, to the outer end of which is attached the crank F by means .of which the churn is operated. is a large gear-wheel attached to the shaftC, and the teeth of which mesh into the small gear-wheels and I attached to the shafts D and E to impart motion to said shafts. The inner ends of the shafts D and E passthrough the side of the body A of the churn, and have square te ions formed upon them whichenter square sockets formed in or attached to the ends of the dashers J and K. The'other ends of the dashers J and K have sockets formed in or attached to them which fit and revolve upon pivotingpins attached to the side of the churn-body A. The dnshers J and K consistof horiz ontal bars'jnnd In attached to the radial arms of the end block and W, as shown in the drawings. By turning the cran} F the. dashers J and K will both be revolved in the same direction, so that the wings of the dasher, as K, will tend to throwthe milk or cream upward in the middle of the churn, which current the wings of the other dasher, asJ, wilLmeetnnd tend to force downward, thus throwing the milk into violent agitation and bringing the butler-in every short time. After the churning is completed, by working the crank F hack and forth, the butter will be gathered in a solid roll or lump in the middle part of the churn, from which it can be readily removed. By turning the buttons L that cover the outer ends of the shafts Dend E the said shafts may he slid outward, allowing the deshers to be removed from the churn. 7

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The combination and arrangement of the gear-wheels G H Iand shafts C1D E with each other, with the dashers J K, and with the frame E and body A of the churn, in combination with th'e'douhle dashers J and K, constructed, arranged, and operated substantially as herein shown and described.
